In my previous blog, “Tough Decisions (part 1)“, I tried to explain how the decisions we make on helping kids are very difficult. I used a recent child’s case to show how we were able to help, at least for now, a child and her mother. Less than 24 hours after this encounter I had…
For nearly three years we have been working on solutions for flooding in Poipet. We have helped schools, communities and people all across Poipet get out of the annual floods which devastated the city. Long gone are massive floods which inundate the whole city, but there are still pockets of flooding left due to a…
Our morning in Mozambique started off with Heidi Baker doing a village meeting for widows. The purpose was to give some discipleship teaching to the widows, but to also give an opportunity for the visiting foreigners (like myself) a chance to get into a local Mozambique village and home. Since I came from Cambodia, the…
A few days ago I was going around Poipet. I was on the prowl. I regularly move around the city, in back alley side streets and in places where it is hard to go. I am looking for the people and praying as I go to see how God would use me to help people. …
The lowest job you can have is that of a shepherd, today as well as 2,000 years ago. Even in Cambodia, the lowest job is a shepherd. Usually they get kids to be the shepherds. If a family has adopted kids, it would be the adopted kids who have to watch the animals in the…

Currently I am ascertaining flood damage on schools in Poipet, Cambodia. Upon visiting one school I noticed a rare feature: a playground. In fact, after visiting every school in Poipet (a city of 120,000 people) I found there is only ONE playground in the entire city. As I looked at the school property and the…
You may wonder what happened to Sovan and Sokal. Obviously, I know this story and and they are my friends so they must not be slaves anymore. They had no choice but to stay on the work site.
Sovan and Sokal are two young men in their mid-twenties. Both are married and have small children. They eat what they grow and each day is a struggle to survive for themselves, much less their families. One day a rich looking businessman comes into their village. He said he is recruiting workers for a company in Thailand.
